STOVE AND BOILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,216, dated July 14,1885.

` Application filed December 31, 1884. (No man.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern.- v

Be it known that I, IsAAc I?. VANCE, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at West Stockholm, in the county of St. Lawrence andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inStoves and Boilers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled `in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersor figures of reference :marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to certain newand useful improvements in stoves andboilers, said invention being designed more especially for use in cooperand wheelwright shops, or such shops as have a liberal supply of chipsor shavings, and in which at times it is necessary to have steam for thepurpose of bending lumber.

My invention consists ina stove and boiler, the parts of which areconstructed as herein shown and described, and set forth in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figure l isa perspective View; Fig. 2, a sectional view; Fig. 3, a vertical sectiontaken through the line x w of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a plan view; Fig. 5, adetail view. i

A represents a box-stove, which is provided at one end with doors a a',and on its interior with ledges b b, upon which rests a false bottom,B,which is removable, and when desired may be placed near the bottom ofthe stove above the ash-pit c. The top of the stove is provided with arectangular opening, C,Which may be covered ordinarily with a plate, C.The rear portion of the top of the stove, near one side of the same,isprovided with a chimney or smokeoutlet, D, within which is 1ocated adamper, d, above which damper a branch pipe, at right angles with themain smoke outlet, is located. The boiler E is of such configurationthat it will fit ,over the opening C, and this boiler is provided at itsupper portion with a funnel, e, for filling the same, which funnel hashinged thereto a covering-plate, e', with a projecting tongue, f, forthe reception of a sliding weight, f, by means of which the funnel, whennot used for lilling the boiler, is converted into a safety-valve. rEheboiler is provided with lire-tubes gpg, the lower ends of which projectthrough the bottom of the boiler, the upper ends being con` nected orattached to a cross-pipe, g', which has attached thereto a pipe, Gwhichprojects to the rear wall of the boiler and enters the branch pipe h ofthe stove-pipe. j The boiler' E is provided with stop-cocks i', whichare attached to the sides of the sameat any convenientpoint, one beinglocated above the water-level and adapted to receive a pipe for thepurpose of conveying the steamto asteaming-box, the other stop-cockbeing for the purpose of ascertaining the depth of water in the boilerand drawing the same therefrom when required. products of combustionfrom the stove enter the rear portion of the boiler and are con- SS' 'A70` v It will be noted that the veyed through the pipes g to thechimney,

said products of combustion entering the chimney above the damper d.

By providing the stove with a removable bottom or grate, said stove mayeither be employed for heating purposes or for heating the water in theboiler.

A stove of the class shown and described is specially `adapted for theuses herein mentioned,as said stovewill readily burn such materials aschips and shavings, andwhen the shelf or false bottom B rests upon theledges b the heat acts mainly upon the bottom of the boiler and passesthrough the dues located in said boiler.

If desirable, the pipe 7L, which leads into the stove-pipe D, may beprovided with a damper, though in practice I prefer to cover 'this shortpipe with a cap when the boiler is not used. A l

I claimj In combination with a-st-ove constructed substantially asdescribed, and provided with a smoke outlet, D, and supplemental outleth,

an independent removable boiler having re` turn-fines g, connected to apipe which enters the supplemental outlet h, and steam-exit opening i',theparts being constructed substantially IOC
